The amphibian decline crisis: A watershed for conservation biology? (2005, background): “Nevertheless, the significance of increased UV-B radiation in amphibian declines remains uncertain, and ongoing conflicts over methodologies, analysis and interpretation of available data show no sign of waning (e.g., Kats et al., 2000, 2002; Cummins, 2002; Blaustein et al., 2003; Heyer, 2003; Licht”
Conservation Biology of Caecilian Amphibians (2005, background): “…destruction plays a primary role in declining populations of other amphibians, but other biotic and abiotic factors are also important (e.g., Gardner 2001; Blaustein & Kiesecker 2002; Blaustein et al. 2003; Collins & Storfer 2003; Daszak et al. 2003), including climate change (Thomas et al. 2004).”
Global amphibian declines: sorting the hypotheses (2003, background): “Protected areas are affected by many factors, including introduced alien species (Knapp et al ., 2001; Kats & Ferrer, 2003), toxins that may blow into these areas (Davidson et al ., 2001; Blaustein et al. , 2003), climate change (Pounds et al ., 1997) and pathogens that can invade these systems.”
Demographic Processes Underlying Population Growth and Decline in Salamandra salamandra (2005, background): “Indeed, such a link between individual-level effects and population declines has not yet been empirically demonstrated (Biek et al. 2002; Vonesh & De la Cruz 2002; Blaustein et al. 2003).”
Amphibian declines: future directions (2003, background): “…habitat loss and modification, introductions of nonindigenous species (Kats & Ferrer, 2003), over-harvesting, UV-B radiation, chemical contaminants (Blaustein et al., 2003), emerging infectious diseases (Daszak et al., 2003) and global © 2003 Blackwell Publishing Ltd, Diversity and Distributions,…”
Climate change and amphibians (2005, background): “B hypothesis is controversial and has been the subject of a series of contentious critiques and rebuttals (Licht & Grant, 1997; Corn, 2000; Cummins, 2002; Kats et al., 2002; Blaustein et al., 2003b, 2004; Blaustein & Kats 2003; Licht, 2003).”
Negative effects of changing temperature on amphibian immunity under field conditions (2006, background): “A case in point is that environmental factors have been implicated in the emergence of new and more severe amphibian diseases (Kiesecker 2002; Blaustein et al .”
